Why Choose Valley for Breast Imaging?

  • Breast patient navigators: At Valley, breast patient navigators guide you through the breast imaging experience. If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, patient navigators transition your care to our nurse navigator, who provides support, coordinates your care, and guides you through each phase of care.
  • Comprehensive breast cancer services: Valley's breast care services team works together to provide you with a personalized treatment plan. Our team includes fellowship-trained and board-certified breast radiologists, breast surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, pathologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and nurse practitioners.
  • Specialists in breast cancer radiology: At Valley, our breast imaging radiologists specialize in diseases of the breast. That means they understand the subtle differences in breast tissue that could indicate — or rule out — breast cancer.
  • Digital mammograms: Breast imaging at Valley is 100 percent digital. Digital mammography allows radiologists to magnify breast images, increase or decrease contrasting shades, and invert black and white values while reading the images. 3D technology, also known as tomosynthesis, screens the complete breast, which aids in the detection of another cancer in the same or other breast.
  • Breast imaging center of excellence: Valley’s Breast Center has been designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Breast imaging centers of excellence demonstrate excellence by achieving accreditation in mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided biopsy.
